I am a somatic-attachment therapist supporting older youth & adults healing from symptoms of anxiety and depression, the stressors of daily living, processing incidental and relational trauma, and navigating life transitions. The people who seek me out are often yearning to live authentically and to feel at peace. They may be in search of their identity or life purpose. Some may be uncovering limiting relational patterns and want to break the cycles that no longer serve them in order to live more fulfilling lives.

Many of the problems we experience in life can be traced back to parts of ourself that are wounded or not properly integrated. I help you to reflect and make sense of your experience, and to work through areas of your life that bring discomfort. In moving through these discomforts/stuck areas in a new way, you release these wounds, become free from their grasp & move into more aligned, embodied & authentic living. We cannot fully integrate (become whole in our life) unless we heal & integrate all parts - including shadow work, healing parental and childhood wounds, ego work, sacred sexuality, reprogramming belief systems etc.

Do you struggle with trauma or PTSD, or anxiety, depression, fatigue, low self-worth, or ongoing relational challenges such as difficulty with boundaries, communication, or emotional regulation? Do you feel stuck in cycles you understand intellectually but struggle to shift in practice? Are you seeking deep, lasting change? With over 12 years post grad counselling experience I will support you using EMDR, IFS and other somatic approaches to help you understand and change these patterns at both cognitive, emotional and physiological levels. Together, we will focus on building safety, clarity, and practical change. I do see results.

We are bound to face challenges that can leave us feeling overwhelmed, uneasy, or lost. Or sometimes, different feelings, thoughts, experiences, and behaviours present themselves without knowing how to fully understand them. I can offer ways to build one's awareness to uncover and gain more control over problematic concerns/patterns. I have a special interest working with men, who are challenged by ADHD, anxiety, depression and/or burnout. I'm in the process of completing my certification as a ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider.

I have been working as a registered psychologist since 2008. It's important to me to create a safe, caring respectful environment where anyone, no matter who they are, feels welcome. The relationship between us is one of the most important factors in determining how helpful counselling with me will be. Clients often come to me with anxiety, depression, traumatic experiences, difficulties with life transitions, and grief or loss. We will work together to develop a plan to deal effectively with the issues that bring you to see me. (Can also contact by Fax: 250.984.0859)

Today as a society there are so many stressors that we have to deal with on an individual basis such as mental illness, trauma, struggles with addiction, work and relationship stress that can impact our overall ability to function and succeed. Going through any of these struggles alone is a near impossible task and I am happy that you are looking for someone to walk along with you through life's challenges.

I work with couples at all stages — navigating conflict, rebuilding connection, or simply wanting to communicate more fluently. I also work with high-functioning adults who want to live with more intention rather than reaction. They're the kind of people who'd rather understand something than just survive it. I believe therapy is like going to the gym, not the hospital — you don't have to be in crisis to benefit. You just have to be willing to show up and do the work.

My ideal client has often dug themselves into a hole into which they can not get out of on their own. The issues will be related to a difficult relationship of some description, partner, family, community, finance, environment, financial, and certainly themselves. It is likely that their goals are uncertain and that they feel lost. Very often, my ideal client does not know what they want, but can with certainty say what they don't want.

In my practice I value the opportunity to work with individuals who are experiencing grief and loss, depression and anxiety, parenting and family challenges, and the impacts of trauma. As a clinical counsellor and a mother I offer support to women throughout motherhood, addressing concerns for postpartum depression and anxiety, transitioning to motherhood, intimate partner challenges, burnout, pregnancy and postpartum loss, and processing birth trauma. I work in collaboration with the client to explore the issues and to support their emotional wellbeing and personal growth.

You might look completely fine to everyone around you, and still feel quietly exhausted, unsure, or angry on the inside.
Maybe you've learned to be accommodating, capable, and responsible — often to the point where you’re carrying far more than your share. You may overthink decisions, struggle to say no, replay conversations long after they’re over, or feel guilty for having needs at all. These patterns often get normalized rather than questioned.
If you’re constantly managing other people’s expectations, second-guessing yourself, or over-functioning, you are not alone. I've personally been there, too.
